Give her a student-driven research project
You could have a menu of choices:
1) dramaturgical research of some aspect of the performance
2) create a pre/post show installation for the performance
3) research a theatre career choosing a creator, producer, playwright, or "backstage storyteller highlighting the person and possible high school to career pipeline: influences, inspiration, training, college (including research about the college's program) early career and
seminal work.
4) regional, Broadway, TV, or film project - they enjoy or are curious about: creation/development history
5) interview a designer or "backstage storyteller" - use #3 to guide the focus

Subject: project for non peformance student
Hello all,
I have a student in a class that I am trying to work with.
She will not be performing for a major grade in May. (two performances)
What independent projects have you given that would be comparable?
I'm racking my brain to think of alternate assignments but they are very boring.
This year has tapped me out! haha!
If you would be willing to share please send me what you have! :)
